Do you rent or own your home? (for this poll, if you have a mortgage it still counts as "owning" even though the bank technically "owns" )

Lucky for me, I married into this house and have never had to buy one.

I rent. Can't afford to own, and don't particularly want to in this market.

I rent. I've had the same landlord for 18+ years.
I've lived in the same neighborhood since I was 6.
I have never been able to save money for a house, being a single Mom receiving sporadic child support.

I always say that the bank owns the house and is kind enough to let us live there.

We actually "rent" from my parents with potential to purchase. So I put lease to purchase.
